How does the length of the shadow change at different times of the day?

So, it is worth knowing that the maximum length of the shadow occurs only at sunrise and sunset. But the minimum length of the shadow is always at noon, that is, at twelve o’clock in the afternoon. In the afternoon, the shadow begins to grow again. But an interesting fact is that some peoples believed that a shadow could enter a person’s consciousness, so they forbade children to play with their shadow.
